Mattress topper for firm sofa bed

[8bit]

We bought a new sofa bed (UK double size) recently which is a bit on the firm side. Looking at getting a topper for it to soften it a bit. It'll have to be foldable or roll-able for storage as we don't want it permanently on the sofa bed. Any recommendations?

We use a panda mattress topper in our caravan but it is a challenge to roll it up (it’s super king size) or you can get duvlay, this could be as a topper and quilt all in one

As an alternative...how about an airbed.
That could be inflated to the desired softness... & easy to store afterwards.
(Would probably fit under the sofa bed)

Just have a look on the John Lewis site / app. Dozens to choose from at a myriad of prices. Get yourself along to a store and have a feel to get a feel for what might work. Ask a partner in the bedding department to assist you in making the right choice for your situation. Other stores are available, but in my experience John Lewis has the product range and the staff knowledge to be genuinely helpful in situations such as these.

Made a mistake and bought a firm mattress, struggled for months so bought mattress topper from Dunelm

Chose one which regulated temperature, been comfortable ever since.

We did the same for our sofa bed. It helped a lot, but in the end my wife made and extra memory foam underlay and some sort of wall storage for it all (WIP - like the whole house).

If we had a John Lewis any closer than a 2.5 hour drive we'd do exactly that, but alas...

We have (or did have) one, never got on with it. We have the sofa bed now, just looking to make it a little more comfortable but thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks - I was thinking of popping down there, which one have you got specifically? Does it make the bed much softer? How easily/compactly do you think it would fold/roll up?

I can recommend the Silent night airmax 800
